So I got these lovely pink jeans and I threw them in the wash stupidly with my blue jeans and this is how they came out with a purple stain from the blue jeans :/ I love the colour so much and now I feel they are ruined. I've tried soaking them in Resolve stain remover and Oxiclean overnight but the stain is not going away. I also didn't see the stain until after they dried. Any ideas?

Try mixing vinegar, baking soda, dawn dish soap and water. You will mix about 1/4 cup vinegar, 3 tbls baking soda, 1/4-1/2 cup dawn dish soap and approximately 1-1 1/2 cups of water together, if mixture is a little on the thicker side add just a little bit more water and 2-3 tsp of vinegar. You want the mixture to be fluid and not real thick. You put it into a spray bottle and the spray it on the area you want to remove the dye from let it set for about a half an hour or so use a tooth brush to work it into the really tough spots rinse and repeat on any spots that are still being stubborn and won't come out all the way.
After you have mixed it, sprayed it and let it set you will want to rinse the item thoroughly after using a small brush to work the mixture into the dye or ink you are trying to remove. If there is still dye repeat until it is all out of the item.
You can try washing again using the Rit Color Grabber. However, if you put the jeans in the dryer already, it is probably too late, as the dye has set.
I ALWAYS use a color catcher cloth in EVERY load of wash...just in case. I think your dryer has most likely made the oops a permanent thing.
That's a pretty large area that bled and I doubt there's anything you can do to get that stain out. You'll probably need to go and buy another pair of jeans, while you're still able to get them.
